Looks like spring is here. Finally! I remember how fun it was running through the sprinklers as a kid. Weston couldn't get enough of it yesterday when we turned them on for the first time this year.
We've been playing and spending a lot of time outside lately.
5 more weeks until the baby arrives.
I am still waiting for the "nesting" instinct to kick in.
It's not happening.
I should probably buy and stock up on diapers for starters. When I was pregnant with Weston at this time I was going crazy organizing, cleaning, making list of things I need to buy, worrying about getting things ready, starting projects, etc... It's different this time around. I just don't have the energy or just end up not caring. I nap when Weston naps. I've never been a "napper", but it's what I do these days. Playing legos and trains with Wes for an hour or two seems to zap all my energy. And I'm okay with this because I'd rather sit and play with my boy than many other things...like housework for example. I procrastinate it and go on walks with Wes instead. I avoid going to the grocery store or any store for that matter because it's a huge chore. And after reading this I realize I'm making myself sound like quite the "go getter" aren't I? I'm not usually a lazy person but I certainly have been lately.
When I got pregnant I really wanted three things to happen with Weston before the baby came.
1. Transition to big boy bed.
2. Potty trained.
3. Lose the binkie at bedtime
Yeah...none of these things have happened. I was a major slacker I didn't even attempt any of these transitions. Surprisingly though, I am not stressed about it. It will be good for Weston to get use to having his brother around for a few months, and then I'll start all those fun things. Or maybe just wait until he's four.....four year olds with diapers and binkies, it's cool right?

Running through sprinklers is the best! And I totally think you are smart holding of on all the big transitions/changes for Wes. (:
haha Wes looks like he is having a blast! And I cannot wait for this baby to get here!
Don't put yourself down for having less energy for everything, you have been growing an entire person, it makes you tired. And kudos for using the energy that is left over on that adorable little guy!
Totally appreciate all your thoughts and confessions about being pregnant with 5 weeks to go. It's good to know I'm normal! Down with going to the grocery store and cleaning house. I am still waiting to see if Chad will ever tackle cleaning the tub. I told him at this stage in the game, and with the size of this belly, the tub is all his. I'm wondering how thick the orange mold is going to have to get before he breaks down and cleans it. I am trying to hold out!
